Epiphany, GNOME's Web Browser, has disabled the safe-browsing phishing protection due to Google's changed Terms of Service around API keys in open-source projects.

I am surprised that there is no news and no discussion regarding the future use or non-use of Google SafeBrowsing in Firefox.

Yeah. Getting rid of "Safe Browsing" is actually GOOD. Google nowadays bans websites on a whim, with no good way to contest the inclusion of your site into the list. Given how widespread "Safe Browsing" usage is, that means the site is essentially banned completely and almost everywhere.

I'll second that. Google has really turned a dark leaf recently. I've stopped using Google entirely as my primary search engine (using DuckDuckGo now) because some of their search results have become seriously biased and downright propagandic.

I'm thinking about ditching gmail next. It used to be that I could read my emails, click any link in the message and it would go directly to where the author of the message intended me to go. But now, I can see Google is actually re-writing the HTML of email messages so that all links go through Google's servers before being redirected to the final destination. That seems way too creepy to me. They're obviously tracking my reactions to emails, and if they're re-writing my incoming emails, how do I know they won't be changing the destinations or contents out for "Google approved" propaganda?

Any suggestions? Looking for very low bandwidth. Protonmail would be good, except I think it downloads a pretty hefty pile of data everytime I just want to check my mail.
